Oz - let the addiction begin

[cmk418]

So I was talking to the boss' wife yesterday - I do that sometimes, I can be quite civil, thank you. We were on the subject of television so naturally I ask her if she's seen "Oz". She says she hasn't really watched it, but she wouldn't mind seeing it. I offer to lend her my Season One DVDs (after Thanksgiving when my project to get my sister hooked finishes the first stage). Honestly, I should get her started on S4 (fill in epi number - those of you who've been reading know where this is going) so that she can see the beauty of the show. Must stop this train of thought now or they'll come to revoke my rainbow card. But still, I would consider it a great success to get her into Oz. My boss would probably like it too. He likes things that are violent and well written.

Which leads me to a question, are there men addicted to this show? Seems like most of the folks out here in the LJ Oz community are women, so I've got to wonder. Maybe they just don't go searching for or writing slash-fic. And somehow I don't see my boss swooning over Ryan O'Reily. Although if he does, I can change my matchmaking plans - LOL.

Glad the Dodgers clinched the playoffs today - timezone convenient postseason play - hooray. The Cards just have to win one more or Houston lose one more and they're in. And my Hawks are winning 4-1 at this point (nice that they could rebound after a loss like that). They have the best record in preseason play. I'm very proud even though it won't mean a thing next week.

If they are, they're either gay, or will never admit it, because people will think...they're gay. O_o

Come to think of it, the two guys that I got addicted to Oz were gay (but that's just my circle of friends).

My dad watched the show. He had high compliments for the writing & could not get over Adebisi's death scene. He enjoys describing it in detail. Of course, he never once mentioned that he had to tune in next week to see what was going on in the B/K storyline. But he's not addicted. He'd watch it if there was nothing else on television, but other than that, he's pretty well done with it.

Yeah, I think that if a guy WAS addicted, he would NEVER mention B/K, and just play up the violence and killings...yeah, because that's like, *manly* and shit. O_o
